Last night the barmaid in my local got her nipple pierced right in front of everyone.

I’ve never been much good at darts.

Thanks IMPz.  I did look at BT, TalkTalk.  Despite the satellite dish, at the moment, for the overall package, Sky do work out a few pounds a month cheaper. 

There are pros and cons for everything.  Sky would be a silly price if I add a second TV box, as their £14 pcm charge for a Q mini is extortionate - Virgin £7 for the standard V+ box, BT only want £5.

It may only be me, but I can hammer my broadband at times, and during lockdown upload speed has been quite important for work and stuff so I do still want something that offers a good alround up and down speed so desire the upper Openreach offerings now those are available.  Somehow Sky apply a better discount on their broadband than BT currently offer.  Installation costs re also a bit heavier with BT, especially as they say I need a TV arial (no doubt for the Freeview channels) and I know the wiring to my arial is long since perished.

I'm with BT which includes Netflix,Amazon Prime and Now TV as part of their system. If you purchase the Now TV entertainment package  (£10 per month) that gives you 10 Sky channels including Atlantic.

I have the the Fibre 1 package which is 50Mb up and 9Mb down - which is £28 per month which include line rental, but down not include any call plan on the landline (which does not matter since we very rarely make out going calls)

The only upgrade is to 73Mbs up and 18Mb down for an extra £8 per month, but i've never needed to do so

They are offering 'full fibre' if you live in the right postcode, speeds of upto 900Mb, no idea on pricing

No idea if this helps MGP, but it would mean no dish outside the house
